Canine Flea, Tick and Worm Prevention

Flea, tick and worm prevention is a very important part of having a healthy canine companion. Traditionally, effective medication was only available through local veterinarians at substantial markup. Now you can order the same medication that is available from your vet and have it shipped to your door while enjoying substantial savings.

K9 Advantix offers 5-way protection, repelling and killing ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes, repelling biting flies, and killing chewing lice. Even after a bath or running in the rain, your dog will still be protected by waterproof K9 Advantix. For best results, use a non-detergent shampoo during baths. K9 Advantix combines 2 proven ingredients, imidacloprid and permethrin, that work synergistically against external parasites. The mode of action of imidacloprid complements the activity of permethrin. Each affects parasite nerve cells at different sites to rapidly debilitate, paralyze, and kill by acting on their central nervous systems and sparing your dog discomfort. Do not use on cats.

GPS Tracking Products

There is not a lot in life more heartbreaking than losing a canine family member. With the wandering nature of the Great Pyrenees, chances are fairly good that you will be unintentionally seperated from your pet at least once in its lifetime. With certain pets more likely to become lost than others, it only makles sense to do everything your can to ensure that you are reunited with yoru pet as soon as possible. With today's GPS tracking techology, it is now possible to own presise pet tracking at an affordable price.

The Marco Polo system includes a hand-held portable locator, a collar tag, charger, quick start and user guides. Up to two additional collar tags can be added (sold separately) to allow monitoring and tracking of up to three pets. Collar tags weigh only 1.75 ounces and are suitable for use on pets 10 lbs and larger. Marco Polo's unique tag addressing scheme ensures no interference with other Marco Polo systems. New tags can be added to a system at any time. The ultra-long battery life (up to 3 months) and no monthly services fees provide you with years of hassle-free, cost-free peace of mind. Compared to subscription-based products, Marco Polo will save you hundreds of dollars over the life of the system. When searching for your pet, Marco Polo acts like a personal radar system, scanning every inch of the surrounding area, including the interiors of homes and backyards. The system range is up to 2 miles in open conditions but, as with any 2-way radio system, varies with terrain and obstructions. If your pet is outside the system’s range you can continuously scan hundreds of acres of surrounding area as you drive or walk around. Once within range of your pet the Marco Polo locator will guide you directly to their exact location, within inches if necessary, even if they are injured or hiding. Select one of four safety zone ranges for your pet (in typical areas, smallest range is a 50 ft. radius). Receive warnings in less than 80 seconds when your pet wanders. Marco Polo is the perfect solution for protecting your pets while traveling. Your pet’s selected safety zone follows you as you move. No internet or cellular access is needed so you can take your pets with you to the most remote locations, knowing that you will be alerted quickly if they wander and easily track them if they become lost. With the peace of mind that Marco Polo provides you can read a book or take a nap knowing that your pets are being continually watched over.

The Garmin Astro 220 GPS tracking collar and receiver is perfect solution for dogs that become lost and for ownership peace of mind without the need of paying a montly monitoring fee.
The Astro system includes a bright color-screen handheld GPS device and the rugged, orange polyurethane DC 40 collar. The collar accommodates most e-collar receivers — eliminating the need to put two separate collars on a dog.

With optional detailed city street maps, you can search for over 6 million points of interest and create a route on roads with exact turn-by-turn directions.

Electronic Containment Products

If you reside in a country setting and full fencing is not feasible or cost effective, one option that is available is electronic containment. While this is not effective for all Great Pyrenees, especially those determined "escape artist" types, many owners report success using these products. Those that enjoy the most success are pets that seldom wander as these products give just that little extra incentive to your pet to remain in the yard.
